Synopsis

Amazon.com
Martha Wainwright bears the unmistakable stamp of her lineage. She and her brother Rufus grew up in Canada with their mother, Kate McGarrigle, with summer and holiday visits to father Loudon Wainwright III in the states. She's sung regularly in performances of the extended McGarrigle family, as well as with her brother since his ascendancy in this new millennium. Stepping out fully on her own, she's thrown down a knowing gauntlet, the title track being also listed as just "BMFA." From that near-solo opener to the judiciously arranged small combo setting for "When The Day Is Short" and the sonic wallop of "It's Over," she's not pulling any mere raucous stunts here. Rather, these five songs show a maturity that comes from someone who's been preparing for her first release her whole life. - David Greenberger

Title of review

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I expected something at least somewhat unconventional and interesting based on the title, but the title track is just standard, mediocre lilith fair stuff. I really don't get what she was thinking with the offensive title. Anyone conventionally-minded enough to like the music would be offended by the title, and anyone who found the title amusing or interesting would be offended by the boring conventional music. Track 2 is more of the same. Track 3 has a more developed sound with slide guitar and better songwriting. Track 4 has a slight noisy goth vibe, and she uses her voice more effectively as an instrument, although her enounciation is terrible and it's near impossible to make out a word she sings. The last song reminds me of Billie Holiday. It's completely unoriginal and weak, but apparently it's a cover so I guess that shouldn't count against her. Here's hoping her forthcoming album has more songs like tracks 3 and 4 and less like tracks 1 and 2."
A real artist to watch.

"I saw her live a few months ago, in 2004. Absolutely riveting! Original and personal, authentic and not commercially oriented, strong and intense. This CD lets you in. Wait for the rest."
Her voice is magnificent

"I love her voice and her fearlessness. She will say whatever is on her mind and she is a genius like her brother and her mom."
